healthcare demonstration tomorrow

This is an e-mail sent to me by Jobs for Justice in St. Louis. I will try to be there, but note: not fond of the Healthcare-now folks whom thought disallowing single-payer healthcare folks from the table was a good idea.

Some of the organizations within this group may well feel some of our wrath no matter what healthcare proposal is passed. Remarks made at the Forrest Park Community college (some in earlier posts) are still in effect.

Healthcare proposals that have passed committee are too lame to do more than scratch the surface of the healthcare problems of the nation.:

"I don't think Dr. King would endorse any of us. What he would call upon the American people to do is to hold us accountable . . . Change does not happen from the top down. It happens from the bottom up. Dr. King understood that. It was those women who were willing to walk instead of ride the bus, union workers who are willing to take on violence and intimidation to get the right to organize . . . arguing, mobilizing, agitating, and ultimately forcing elected officials to be accountable, that's the key. . . . That's how we're going to bring about change." ----Barack Obama, CBC Debate 1/21/2008
